Summary: No-powers, modern AU crossover.
A string of brutal deaths brings the FBI’s vaunted Behavioural Analysis Unit to New York City on the trail of a serial arsonist. But when the UnSub appears to target a young man named William Kaplan, it becomes clear that nothing at all is what it seems...
“If you don’t want me to act like a parent, Cassie, fine. Let me act like a cop. By all rights, you and your friends should be up on serious charges right now! We’ll start with obstruction of justice, interfering in a police investigation, interfering in a federal investigation, negligent homicide-“

I do have one question: I'm an amateur podficcer, and while I've only ever recorded a couple of my own stories, something about this just makes me really want to try to podfic it. With your permission, I'd like to give it a shot. I'm no pro or anything, and I don't often have the time to record, but I would greatly appreciate the chance to try it. :)

... hi. :) I'm a crossover junkie myself, and once I realized that I could make this work I just couldn't... not. I'm just grateful that there are other people who got into it, and I wasn't insane alone!
Thank you so much for reading and commenting, and I'm really looking forward to the podfic if/when you get the chance! I've never had anyone do anything like that for one of my stories before.
